Wish I could reproduce this. lol I've never been able to do this in Safari 5 and I've used it every day since it was released.

Me neither. But then again I haven't experienced real issues at all with Safari 5. So far has been smooth sailing on my former Mac Pro and current iMac. My mom is using Safari 5 full-time on her eMac running Mac OS X Leopard and I haven't heard her running into any troubles either. Except for that one banking website that still only fully works with Internet Explorer.

What model Mac do you have? It just seems so strange that you are the only person I know of who hasn't had this bug. Just seems so odd.

I tried to reproduce that bug so many times before, but couldn't either. Not even with the initial version of Safari 5. I'm running the browser on the following Macs:

2010 iMac running Mac OS X Snow Leopard v10.6.4 (10F2061)

2009 Mac Pro running Mac OS X Snow Leopard v10.6.4 (sold it recently)

2005 eMac running Mac OS X Leopard v10.5.8

2003 eMac running Mac OS X Leopard v10.5.8

How is it possible that some are affected and some not? I'm finding it extremely weird that some have a couple of major issues with Safari 5, while I'm not experiencing any. At least not any new ones compared to Safari 4. Obviously the occasional site doesn't work, but even that becomes rare.

But does it fix the incredibly annoying IPB issue where the previously opened tab is reopened when trying to reply to a topic on, say, Neowin?

This happens to me - it's incredibly annoying!

Until they update the UI on Windows, i'll stick to IE9.

I think it was this

Open a new tab and load say google on it, close the tab, and then press reply on a post

EDIT - It still does it

Safari is still fail

Didn't happen for me. Sucks that some people are having problems.

Only issue I have with Safari is Safari for Windows on one particular site crashes :(. Doesn't crash on Mac OS X version.

I like the layout, and i like the speed of Safari. I also like the bookmark syncing between all my devices.

    • Mozilla highlights Firefox Nova 2026 redesign and more upcoming features with new roadmap by Sayan Sen Last month Mozilla confirmed that Firefox was set to get a major redesign this year. Dubbed "Project Nova", it can already be tested and will roll out to all users later this year.The idea is to keep the browser competitive in a rapidly evolving internet landscape. As such the revamp focuses on improving privacy, usability, performance, accessibility, and customization. Key privacy features including the built-in VPN, private browsing mode, and Enhanced Tracking Protection, will be more visible and easier to manage, while users will have the option to disable AI features entirely through a dedicated kill switch. Additionally, the redesign promises faster page loading, the return of Compact mode, expanded personalization options, and stronger accessibility support. You can find the full details in the dedicated piece linked above. In a new blog post today the company once again reiterated on Nova and also emphasized other new and upcoming features like the settings revamp that is intended to make it easier for users to understand browser settings. In order to make it simpler for users to keep up with such features Mozilla today is launching Firefox roadmap. Hence enthusiasts and interested users will be able to check out what's cooking and also share feedback about the upcoming additions. Alongside the roadmap announcement, Mozilla also highlighted what's new in Firefox 152. One of the biggest additions is the arrival of Tab Groups on Android. The feature, which has already been helping desktop users organize large numbers of tabs, is now beginning to roll out on mobile. Users will be able to group related tabs together, assign names and colors to them, and return to them later. Mozilla says support for iOS will arrive later this year. Firefox 152 also introduces the aforementioned redesigned Settings experience. The company says the changes are meant to make controls easier to find and help users discover features they may not have previously known about. Existing preferences are not changing, though they are now better organized. Another notable addition is the new Blocked Tracker Widget, which provides a visual overview of Firefox's privacy protections by showing how many trackers have been blocked over time and the types of tracking activity the browser has stopped. Looking ahead, Mozilla revealed several upcoming roadmap features. They include customizable keyboard shortcuts, as well as enhanced PDF editing tools that will allow documents to be split, merged, and reorganized directly within Firefox. The company is also working on bringing Multi-Account Containers into the native Firefox experience thus removing the need for a separate extension. Meanwhile Firefox's built-in VPN is set to expand to mobile devices. Mozilla is also developing AI-powered features like Quick Answers, which can provide concise responses to voice queries, and Smart Window, its optional AI browsing experience that is now available without a waitlist. Finally, a new Power Saving Mode is in the works and will help reduce the impact of resource-heavy tabs on mobile devices in order to extend battery life. The video below summarizes the upcoming changes in an easy to understand format: You can find the announcement blog post here on Mozilla's official website.
    • Dead on arrival at that price. Like they missed the mark by multiple hundreds of dollars - this should actually undercut the Macbook Air at $899 if they want any sort of sales / further adoption of WoA
    • Wow, 50% increase for the base model. That's steep!
    • A group made up of dozens of cybersecurity experts, including several well-known veterans of the industry, published an open letter to the U.S. government asking it to lift the export control order on Anthropic’s Fable and Mythos models. According to the open letter, “this action has taken the best models away from [cybersecurity] defenders” who now can’t use the models to find vulnerabilities and make their software and products more secure. “To pull the best capabilities away from defenders without a good reason when our adversaries are rapidly advancing is dangerous,” read the letter. On Friday, the U.S. government ordered Anthropic to limit the export of Fable and Mythos, citing national security concerns, without explaining the specific reasons behind the order, according to Anthropic. In response, the company suspended access to the models to all users worldwide.     https://techcrunch.com/2026/06/15/cybersecurity-vets-protest-dangerous-us-government-ban-on-anthropics-most-powerful-models/
